  1. Hey All, I have a 1967 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible that has been in the family since new. It has always been garaged and never seen snow which is pretty amazing here in Western NYS. It was last repainted about 33 years ago with DuPont Lacquer and topped with a clear coat. The paint is in OK shape and there are a few scrapes and scratches. I have only made a couple half hearted attempts to bring back the best shine possible. I could really use some sage advice on how best to restore its luster and what products to use. I do have a Porter Cable 7424XP and a Mini Swirl Killer that I am very comfortable using on our newer cars. Thanks in advance for your time and your expertise. Mike
  2. For me, I did get the adapter as suggested but it still leaked under pressure. I ended up buying a compact Greenworks electric 1700psi pressure washer from Lowes for $99. I had a $100 rebate debit card from a recent tire purchase. It works great with no issues and, especially, no leaks. I am disappointed with the connections issues with the Portland pressure washer but will hang onto it for other household cleaning needs.
  3. Thanks for your replies and suggestions. i have an email into Matt at Obsessed Garage waiting for a reply. Thanks again, Mike 👍
  4. I could really use some help from our Adam's Polishes Forum Family. Over the winter I purchased a Portland 1750 Pressure Washer to go with Adam's Foam Cannon and Snub Nose Pressure Washer attachment. Now that the weather is starting to warm up (sort of) in the Northeast I'm ready to put everything to use. The problem is the hose that came with the pressure washer is, for lack of a better term, proprietary to that machine. The connection to the pressure washer has a longer 'nipple' than a standard pressure washer connection, and the connection at the wand end is 100% specific to the wand that came with the machine. Once I realized part of this issue, I ordered a new pressure washer hose online and that's how I figured out the problem with the 'nipple' connection to the pressure washer. I am looking for everyone's help and suggestions to figure this out. I'm really looking forward to using the Foam Cannon but need to figure this out. Here are some pictures for reference - the pressure washer, the hose with the long 'nipple' that came with the pressure washer, and the new hose I purchased online. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Mike
  5. Thanks Rich. What type of hangar are you using? A hose reel type hangar?
  6. Thanks Josh. Fingers crossed for warmer weather soon.
  7. March 30 Good Morning, I finally had the opportunity to unpack and use the Adam's Premium Hose I purchased during the winter. First, I have to say, it is absolutely made of premium material. It is extremely difficult to unroll and roll up again. After getting it unrolled, flat, and straight I went about washing the cars. It continued to try to resume it's rolled up position which is probably inherent to the rubber and having been rolled up in its packaging for awhile. When trying to roll it up and put away, it has a mind of its own. I'm hoping as the weather warms up it will be easier to manage but, right now, I'm somewhat regretting that I bought it. I am open to any and all comments and suggestions. I know it's a high quality product but I don't want to 'fight with it' every time I want to wash the cars. Thanks much in advance, Mike
  8. I have started to experience the same 'linting' issue recently with my single soft and double soft MF towels. This happened again to me yesterday. I clayed the area first and wiped it down so it wasn't still really wet and to remove any floating contaminants. I hand applied Americana paste wax and allowed to set for a short period of time. Both single soft and double soft MF towels seemed to 'drag' when removing the wax and leave lint. They are stored in the plastic Sterilite box with latching lid. I use only Woolite to wash them on delicate in warm water. I first use the soak cycle on the machine then a short cycle with cold water and cold rinse. They are line dried in my basement. I think I am doing everything correctly to get the longest life and continued high quality from them. I have only rarely heard of boiling MF towels. What is that expected to do for them? What are the correct steps to do that. Thanks much in advance. Mike
  9. Thanks Jason. I was planning to upgrade to Adam's Foam Gun and didn't realize it previously came with a smaller bottle.
  10. Does the Gilmor (ah hem) liquid container fit the Adam's Foam Gun? With the new larger container from Adam's, being able to swap the small vs large containers based on vehicle size would be pretty sweet. Thanks, Mike
  11. Thanks guys and gals. I was just taking inventory this weekend and thinking I'd wait for a Labor Day Sale to stock up, then a 'Summer Stock Up Sale' is announced. Absolutely perfect!!! Order placed. Mike
  12. Thanks Dan. It took a few minutes for it to make sense even with the picture. What is not really seen in the picture is the 'tube' that connects the wheels together - similar to an axle - that comes with the wall mount bracket. When looking at my Master Blaster, there isn't a way to hook it on the wall mount without some modification, but the tube provided when attached between the wheels appears to do the trick. Thanks again. Mike
